Inhaltsangabe

For too long, the table has been tabled. Not just in language, but in practice. We have set it aside in favor of fast meals, isolated lives, and shallow connection. But in the early Church, the table was never a side note. It was the center of life, the place where healing happened, where worship rose, and where mission began.

To table something means to delay it or shelve it. For years, the Church has done just that with the table. Hospitality, once a core expression of the gospel, has been forgotten. This book is about returning to what should have never been paused. It is about bringing the table back to the center.

In The Table of Presence, Mark Middleton invites the Church to rediscover one of the most powerful and often overlooked practices of Jesus. Drawing from the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts, and filled with honest stories of transformation and encounter, this book casts a vision for homes that become places of worship, joy, healing, and Kingdom movement.

This is not a book about entertaining. It is a call to presence. To open your home, your calendar, and your heart. Because the most sacred moments often begin with something as simple as a shared meal.

The table was never meant to stay tabled.
